Girish Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The first thing to try would be the -memrestrict command. Have a look at this: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=404147 If that doesn't help, you might need to try compatibility modes or try rolling back to older drivers. But give the -memrestrict command a shot first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforeseen Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks for your reply I've just tried that to no avail. Mine starts stuttering as soon as you enter the game, not after a period of time. I tried memrestrict on lowest with lowest resolution and graphics/texture settings but it still stutters an equal amount. any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damjan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Try running the game in compatibility mode,(right click the exe/shortcut/and go to the compatibility tab.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many programs are you running in the background? Do you have an SSD for a Hard Drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforeseen Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think i've sorted the problem now. I've found the right settings that allow me to play smoothly I think it was being slow loading the textures from the HDD ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found the right settings that allow me to play smoothly I think it was being slow loading the textures from the HDD ... That's what I first thought was Hard Drive, that's why I asked if you had an SSD because some of the first ones had random stuttering issues. Glad you figured it out!

Guest Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 It may have a problem with Windows 7. Run it it Windows Vista compatibility mode. You should also scan your PC for viruses, that has worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
